Two of our architectural design and construction supervision works won the two highest awards (Chairman's Award and Governor's Award) at the 51st Tokyo Architectural Award

Tokyo Association of Architectural Firms President's Award "3rd MINAMI AOYAMA"

This tenant office building stands on the border between the commercial district facing Aoyama-dori, Tokyo's leading thoroughfare, and the residential area that spreads out behind it. Because tenant office buildings exist in all corners of the city, they have a responsibility to create high-quality roadside scenery and open spaces. This plan creates an iconic exterior with four terraces (rooftop, pocket park, inner terrace, outer terrace) that contribute to new ways of working. It also draws people in from the main street via the alleys and pocket park, making the area highly accessible while taking advantage of the dual nature of the area.
The project was praised as a potential prototype for future office buildings for its breakaway from the standard floor and facade configurations of tenant office buildings, creating a refreshing and innovative look for the city, and its efforts to create a public open space brimming with greenery by limiting the building area and integrating the height restrictions of two areas.

Tokyo Governor's Award "MUFG PARK / LIBRARY"

This project was designed to develop a green space that had been protected for over 70 years in the suburbs of Tokyo into a "PARK" to be opened to the public, and to create a library that is one with nature. The library, enclosed under a large, gently curving roof, will be made up of books donated by the local community. The bookshelves covering the entire wall will visualize people's thoughts, and the open PARK will promote the development of a local community through books. In addition, after surveying all the trees in the park, the park paths, library, and various infrastructure were planned to minimize the impact on vegetation, and rainwater was allowed to seep underground, aiming to preserve the rich natural environment.

The project was highly praised for its deep insight into the public sphere, as it is a "PARK" operated by a private company and the architecture located within it that welcomes everyone and provides an attractive space for local residents.
